Site-Directed Mutagenesis of rat nAChR α7

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The QuikChange protocol (Stratagene) was used for site-directed mutagenesis of the rat nAChR α7 subunit (pAMV vector). NotI was used to linearize the circular plasmid. The DNA was purified (Qiagen) and in vitro transcription of mRNA from the linearized DNA templates was performed using the T7 mMessage Machine kit (Ambion). The resulting mRNA was purified and isolated using Qiagen’s RNeasy RNA purification kit. The same linearization and mRNA synthesis protocols were used for the human Ric3 (pAMV) accessory protein.
For non-canonical amino acid incorporation, the amber (UAG) stop codon was used for all α7 subunit incorporation. The 74-nucleotide THG73 tRNA and 76-nucleotide THG73 tRNA were in vitro transcribed using the MEGAshortscript T7 (Ambion) kit and isolated using Chroma Spin DEPC-H2O columns (Clontech). Synthesized non-canonical amino acids coupled to the dinucleotide dCA were enzymatically ligated to the 74-nucleotide tRNA as previously described (Nowak, et al., 1998 (link); Xiu, et al., 2009 (link)).
ND96 media was used for all experimental running/wash buffers (96 mM NaCl, 1.8mM CaCl2, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 5 mM HEPES at pH 7.5). ND96+ media was used for oocyte storage media (2.5mM sodium pyruvate and 6.7mM theophylline added). No gentamicin was added to the ND96+ storage media in order to avoid distorting ACh-induced responses (Amici, et al., 2005 (link)).

Total RNA was extracted from slices using a Qiagen RNeasy RNA purification kit. cDNA was synthesized from 500 ng total RNA using High Capacity RNA‐to‐cDNA Master Mix (Applied Biosystems Ltd). Dio2 and Dio3 primers were obtained from Qiagen (QuantiTect Primer Assays Rn_Dio2_2_SG and Rn_Dio3_1_SG, respectively); other primers (Table 1) were designed using PrimerBLAST (Ye et al., 2012). qPCR reactions were set up using SensiMix SYBR master mix (Bioline) and were run on a Roche LightCycler 480 and analysed using LightCycler 480 1.5 software. Expression of genes of interest was normalized to Actb levels. Standard curves and blank controls were run for all sets of primers. Results shown are from a minimum of two independent experiments per condition. Gene expression in T3‐injected rats was compared to that of vehicle‐injected controls using unpaired Student's t‐tests. Expression in treated hypothalamic slices was compared to control slices from the same individuals by paired Student's t‐tests or ANOVA.

Transcriptome Analysis via Illumina Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each sample was ground in liquid nitrogen and total RNA was isolated using RNeasy RNA Purification Kit (Qiagen, Hilden) according to the manufacturer's protocol. To obtain complete gene expression information, a pooled RNA sample was prepared for transcriptome analysis. cDNA synthesis and libraries construction was performed following Illumina manufacturer's recommendations. In brief, poly (A)+ RNA was purified from 20µg total RNA using oligo (dT) magnetic beads and fragmented in presence of divalent cations under elevated temperature. Those fragmented poly (A)+ RNA were transcribed using random hexamer primers and this was followed by second strand cDNA synthesis using Rnase H and DNA polymerase I. The small fragments were purified using QiaQuick PCR Purification Kit. After that the purified fragments were washed with ethidium bromide buffer for the end-repair, poly (A)+ addition and ligation of sequencing adaptors. Suitable fragments (~200bp) were selected using agarose gel electrophoresis and amplified by PCR to construct a cDNA library.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
